Tomato Tart My Way

"Everyone has a way they like to make Tomato Tarts (at least in the south), and here is how I've taken to making mine. It is easy, and it is a GREAT way to use your fresh basil and tomatoes, either from your yard, your friend's yard, or your local Farmer's Market. I do NOT recommend making this recipe with anything but the freshest, ripest summer tomatoes - it is definitely a seasonal recipe. I have doubled and tripled this recipe, and cut the tarts so that they can become hand held appetizers for a party - they are always one of the first things to go."
